same here..
Figured it out!
I was using a lower case "L" and not an upper case "I" in the command prompt.
I don't understand this. I entered the command line and it brought up iTunes so I'm pretty sure I did that part right.
When I click the "check for update button" it brings up the browser but it will only let me select ipsw files. How do I get it to let me select ipcc?

First did you save the IPCC carrier file on your desktop (keeping it simple) if so did you click on the down arrow (search file type area).. to switch from ISPW to IPCC.. just double checking.
Click on the down arrow where it states ipod/iphone software files and choose IPCC.. then search for your carrier file, select file then click Open. Phone will automatically update with selected carrier file. IPCC should be underneath IPSW.. it "should" give you that option.

Thank you very much for the IPCC file. I've been trying to get MMS working on and off ever since 3.0 came out (using the SIM in a different AT&T phone, calling AT&T to tell them 'MMS isn't working on my non-iPhone', etc.)
This file and guide work perfectly. I installed the IPCC file, rebooted my phone and everything works fantastic.
Also, my phone is jailbroken with the 3.1 firmware (using the pwnage tool that was released yesterday) so all of you guys with JB phones can rest with ease, it works fine. My VVM wasn't working after the JB, and it doesn't seem to be working now either, so I don't know what broke it.

Thanks again!

So i got MMS working fine... for a week or so now...
BUT i just noticed today
it seemed to break the group sms
when i try it says
"group MMS"
and it shows i send the message fine...
but the 3rd party never receives it...
anyone else notice this?
its not that big of a deal, i can wait 8 days till the new file comes out...
group sms isnt a big deal im lucky if i do it once a month

So I have a jailbroken 3G running 3.0..I have the 5.0 ipcc file and I had MMS working for the past week or so with no problems..Today I looked at my phone and the camera icon in the messages app disappeared and will not come back...I restarted the phone multiple times, reset my network settings and rebooted and nothing will bring it back
The only thing I'm thinking is that ill just have to restore the phone and put the ipcc file back on. The only thing with this is that the command to let iTunes install the ipcc will not work for me..I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and it doesnt work.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe" /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
That command doesnt work and I tried chaning it around to pinpoint to the iTunes.exe and still nothing.
Any help? thanks

3G ~ 5.1 carrier file ~ regular 200 text plan ~ OS3.1
Today I sent a group SMS text to three people (all text - no MMS). Two to Verizon phones, and one to an unmolested stock iPhone.
All three phones registered my text as MMS. The iPhone gave the traditional "go to this website to view" thing, while the two Verizon handsets (one being a BB Storm) also registered the SMS as a MMS.
Just an FYI for those considering this hack before 9/25.
EDIT: I should add that MMS has been working for me the last two days on this setup.
